    man the amount of times sumone has asked this questions is a mentionable. if i were you id withdraw your querey b4 you face the onslaught that is beering down on you from all the other users on this forum who love to pik on ppl who bring this subject up. simply its too much work too much muney and there probly isnt anyone that wants to do it for you. you best go buy a commodore
    or if you really want a rwd magna go get a TJ awd and take ot the front CV's it aint reccomended bbut you'll get your desired effect

    Lots. You need an engine, a gearbox, custom mounts, hoses, you'll probably need to modify the chassis, wheel hubs, suspension, everything.

    Just throw the engine in the boot. The car would be a RR (rear engine, rwd)

    this would cost so much and take so long it is not worth it unless you have a spare 20k around and really want it done.

    I can think of a REALLY dodgy way of doing it the car would be 4wd and have 2 engines

    yeah ive got a way to do it, throw out your current engine and make your bonnet into a luggage compartment.

    mount a lawnmower engine in your boot and just take off the boot lid so no need for exauhst. cut a hole in the floor pan and mount a cog on your rear axle, run a chain from the mower to the axle, connect your fuel line to the fuel tank, extend the tortuise to rabbit speed controller to the drivers seat and away you go.

    Est. HP rear wheel: 1
    EST top speed: 20km/h
    0-20km/h, 5 minutes hahah

    Would a lawnmower engine have enough power to move the catr but?

    expensive, need awd gearbox if suitable in japanese models, probably need custom floor plan, for centre diff and rear diff housing and custom rear drive shafts. I'll give it a go, when i finish my degree. awd is easy enough to then go to rwd...

    Unless others have attempted i do believe the 1st post was enough. Due to awd set ups in japanese models i'm sure it'd be possible, just people don't view the magna as being extra ordinary enough to try it.

    ps don't think of paying people to do this unless your sitting on well over 100k a year and love your car as much as i do.

    If you have a 3rd gen the is already a awd on the market, convert that to manual
    6G72; DOHC 24v, 3L, v6, M5 TS. 125kWATW @ 5500rpm.
    SOLD - LS3; 6.2L, V8, A6 VE I
